{"product_id":"9781108165129","title":"Anti-Impunity and the Human Rights Agenda","description":"In the twenty-first century, fighting impunity has become both the rallying cry and a metric of progress for human rights. The new emphasis on criminal prosecution represents a fundamental change in the positions and priorities of students and practitioners of human rights and transitional justice: it has become near-unquestionable common sense that criminal punishment is a legal, political, and pragmatic imperative for addressing human rights violations. This book challenges that common sense. It does so through careful research and critical analysis that trends toward an anti-impunity norm in a variety of institutional and geographical contexts, with an eye toward the interaction among practices at the global and local levels. Altogether the authors demonstrate how this laser focus on anti-impunity has created blind spots in practice and in scholarship that result in a constricted response to human rights violations, a narrowed conception of justice, and an impoverished approach to peace.","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47077568086256,"sku":"9781108165129","price":21.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781108165129_p0.jpg?v=1763691317","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781108165129","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
